Abstract

Goebel’s original material of Radula tjibodensis K.I.Goebel has not been seen since it was examined by Schiffner for his Uber Exotische Hepaticae of 1893. A search for extant specimens of this original material was unsuccessful, and we infer all such specimens are either lost or destroyed. The only element of original material remaining extant, therefore is the illustrations of Radula tjibodensis provided by Goebel, one of which we designate as the lectotype. To aid the interpretation of this lectotype and reduce ambiguity in the application of the name we select and designate an epitype among the specimens of Radula tjibodensis gathered at Tjibodas that are currently held in Farlow Herbarium.
